It will be important to see how this tragedy will effect the civil war in Ukraine. A civil war which has escalated within the last few weeks, with the western backed president in Kiev pushing hard into the eastern part of the country. There have been reports of massive shelling of cities, leading to high civilian casualties.
Another round of sanctions by the U.S. against Russia has already raised tensions to the next level. And with the U.S. claiming that the recent bombing on the eastern border is a Russian false flag attack, I would not be surprised if they don’t lay the responsibility of this plane attack at the feet of the eastern Ukrainian rebels and the Russians.
Everyone will be quick to point the finger, however lets not forget that in these proxy wars, rebels on both sides are nearly impossible to control. Both Western leadership and Russian leadership in reality share the responsibility for arming and funding these groups.
In my personal opinion, I see the western media blaming Russia, as they blamed Assad in Syria for the chemical weapons attack. An Attack which was later proven to be perpetrated by the quote “freedom fighters” backed up by Turkey and the west. The same group who is now lovely referred to as ISIS.
